Re: First Gmat, now GRE? [#permalink]
Cambridge requires quant scores above 90%, and 780 are already in the 85%, as I remember.

Thank you guys! I will finish the MGMAT questions and then take my first preptest. I am more afraid about the verbal part. :-/

Watch out for the vocabulary i.e. the sentence equivalence and text completion questions :twisted:

Quote:
GRE Requirements
All applicants whose previous university training is from countries outside the UK must submit the results of a recent Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test (applicants taking a London University external degree are required to take a GRE test). The Faculty will not normally consider admitting a student whose score registers below the 90th percentile in the quantitative section and below the 50th percentile in the analytical writing section of the test. The Faculty must receive the results of the GRE General Test by the due date for complete applications (see How and When to Apply for Admission).


What does that tell me? They don't care at all about the verbal section? My comment is not too bad, I already got 30 points on my Toefl essays. I know the Gre Essays are definitely more sophisticated, but hey its a good start ;-)

Re: First Gmat, now GRE? [#permalink]
One more! Besides the sentence completion book, do you think I should buy any other Manhattan verbal guide?

I am also very opposed to stupidly memorize vocabulary. Did anyone took the approach and learnt mainly roots, pre and suffixes?

I've gone through many of the books, and given a choice, i'd purchase just the OG and ALL the Manhattan Guides. If you have already purchased other books such as Kaplan, Princeton, and don't want to spend too much more, then you'll have to select based on which sections you are having trouble in.

Never, ever just stupidly memorize. It never helps. The best approach is to pick up a book/ newspaper/ magazine, go through the word list and note down foreign words, and their context. Check out usages of the word online, and then find the root, pre and suffixes....
Practice using the words you have "memorized" recently while talking to someone or typing out an email.
